Throughout December, Bunzl Canada’s Cleaning & Hygiene and R3 Redistribution businesses are delivering approximately 13 pallets of non-food essentials (nearly 4,000 lbs in total) to Food Banks Canada distribution centres across the country. These donations include toilet tissue, hand soap, sanitizer, and household cleaning supplies. These items are vital for health and hygiene, yet often unaffordable for families struggling to put food on the table.
